So its time to decide. Time to make up your mind and finally choose.

Who is better: Ronaldo or Messi?

The time for thinking is over, the endless almost mind-numbing saga of appeals and spin has finally (almost) reached its conclusion.

And last night, against Bayern Munich, Little Leo showed me, personally, why he is not just the best, but probably one of the best ever. And you know what; its not about goals and percentage of fucking pass success. Its about the Man. I like Messi and I don’t like Ronaldo. Not that I wouldn’t have the Portugezer at Spurs, when he lowers is 3 billion buyout clause and come to the Lane to play for ‘the team he supported as a boy’, but I just love Messi.

So last night at 0-0 with 13 minutes to go it was just a case of ‘cometh the hour, cometh the little Argentinian boy/man’, yet again, this time to haunt his old boss and mentor, Pep Guardiola.

Messi’s first goal was fab. But by his standards, rather ordinary. His second, by any standards, was a thing of beauty. It was a 1962 Ferrari; a Woman in Gold; a Zublodovicsz Collection; Ed Miliband eating a bacon sandwich. And then, to top it off, he made the final goal of the evening for Neimar with a stunning pass.

And so to vote.

I’ve never been comfortable with any of the mainstream political parties. I’m a social reformer at heart, a true (small ‘L’) liberal and a monster raving loony more often than I care to remember. But I shall be voting Conservative today; my least favourite option but one that is truly essential. Because anything else (‘voting with your conscience’ be fucked) might let Ed Miliband become our Prime Minister and the man is simply awful. Dishonest, creepy and a puppet of the Trade Unions. Whose idea of a ‘working family’ is one in which the working man gets paid 70 grand a year for a 30-hour working week and gets 9 weeks holiday out of every 10. The government can make up the shortfall. Or the ‘bosses’ can suffer. Or go broke. They don’t care.

And coupled with the threat of Nicola Sturgeon having a big share of power, that is simply too horrendous to even contemplate.

So bollox to all the issues, let’s just put paid to the Miliband threat once and for all. As he won’t survive a defeat; he’ll be an ex-leader of the party. Deservedly.

Vote anything other than Tory and it’ll be Ed’s face smiling (eeeuuuwwww) from the front pages in about 6 weeks time when they’ve sorted it all out.

I’ve said my piece
